Non fiction recommendations please

[Fattoushka]

I am happy to read mostly anything but enjoy something a bit thought provoking or domestic type thrillers.
I hardly ever buy/pick up non fiction so would like to step out of my comfort zone a bit, some autobiographies would be great.
What have you read that you would recommend?

The Years. Annie Ernaux

Educated or why be happy when you could be normal are 2 standouts for me

All The Young Men by Ruth Coker Burks

I really loved the 3 sets of wartime diaries published via the Mass Observation project - Our Hidden Lives, We Are At War and Private Battles, collated by Simon Garfield. They cover half a dozen different diarists during the war, and flip back and forth between the same few people. You get a real sense of the people as they talk about what they had for dinner, what Churchill said on the radio, what they're buying their granny for Christmas, and how Mrs so and so from down the road died in an air raid the other day...

Another non fiction book I love is The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin. It's a gripping account of one blizzard in the American Midwest in the winter of 1888.
